D44 rear, easy. In early XJs. D44 front? Tough. Has to be fabed or bought new to be a bolt in.

You can upgrade your present D30 with larger alloy shafts, ujoints etc. Also on the list is a really tough diff cover like the ARB or take your pic. The idea is that the cast housing can stretch a little under increased pressure on the gears. Trussing is also a good idea as doing a little welding on the 'C"
